Logs
I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, NewCheeta, requesting additional time.
Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.
In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.
Thanks,

Like the others - did not find this time . It would be great if this was fixed because it’s a very interesting place!
I think the shire pushed it up with a pile of logs, so I'm going to disable it for now. Sorry guys!
Decided on a drive on a wet Sunday. Bussy liked the history at this cache. Thank you!
Bryn didn’t notice that it was right beside him hahaha look what we go a coca cola
Found laying out n the open area has been pushed up so moved it 4 metres towards road. Here for a couple of events today thanks for showing me around Manjimup
CO may wish to rehide

Today Mr Luna Maya and myself decided to explore more of the Manjimup area. I was impressed by the quality of the hides and that overall they were all of a decent size. In beautiful and interesting locations. We also purchased some local produce - the apples were amazing !
* A good sized cache in an interesting location. SL TFTC Newbold *

Hi there NewCheeta.
We found your cache **"Balbarrup School"** at 10:56:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23828).
Today we decided to attempt some caches between Bridgetown and Manjimup. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive, walks and the scenery & found 7 caches & DNF'd 0.
Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends. Thanks also for not placing a mint tin or a 200ml Sistema here. It made us feel really good to find this "special" cache here.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 6m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thank you NewCheeta for adding to our adventure.
Regards
Ian & Penny

Enjoying our trip in the west. Now heading south towards Albany.
Thank you
Good find. The container had about two cm of water in it, but fortunately the log was not submerged and was only a little damp and could still be signed..

Amazing what the years do... no sign that this was once a school site. Interesting little spot. TFTC
Reunited with ICNothing once again, we’ve set off on a quick adventure to snap up some more caches. TFTH.
Out and about with 2Clueless for the afternoon with the aim of collecting caches around Manjimup. Our day was successful with 16 finds and no dnf’s. All caches found easily. Tftc
Having left Geelong in January and travelling to Darwin, we crossed into WA at the start of may. We have slowly been making our way south after doing the gibb river road, cape leveque

Coordinates spot on nothing remains of the school bar a few non-native trees. Cache in great condition.
Late log: Found with Scjaz & TruSeek Trio on day out, heading back to Frankland River. Tftc:-)
Very quick find. Funny that this is a small and the other we found was a medium, maybe should have been swapped around . Tftc!
Just a warning that there are MASSIVE ants here. One bit me through my jeans...and it hurt...a lot. We found the cache quickly and in good condition though. Thanks for the hide
Did a 2 day trip down south with the hubby to pick up some caches. We picked up our first cache in Narrogin then went to Highbury, Wagin, Dumbleyung, Katanning, Broomhill, Tambellup, Frankland, Pemberton, Bussellton, Dunsbourgh and finishing off in Bunbury. A great 2 days of caching with some great sights to be seen along the way. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches.
Had a good days caching down in the beautiful south west of our state with Cravo10 and Richlink.
We caches around Manjimup to help collect an elusive puzzle cache that RL needed our expert tree-caching knowledge for and after finding that we found a couple of other caches around the tracks in Perup that they hadn't grabbed before parting ways and Cravo and myself cached a bit more on the route home.
Was a great day out and we can't wait to get back down this way soon!
Thanks to the local COs for a great days caching.

On a road trip with grandma allinaday to Manjimup and Pemberton. We found lots of caches and it was a lot of fun. TFTC
Another interesting old school site. There are so many of these scattered all over Western Australia, with many now with a cache placed. Nice hiding spot. TFTC
Lucky that was an easy find because I can tell you, at 6.45am end of May it still isn't light. Good find. Like previous logs, I have driven past thousands of times but never taken notice of this spot. Tftc
Decided the other day that we would come down to Manji and grab some caches so I could added a few kms to a racing TB 
When have a day planned with lots of caches the drive from Bunbury seemed to take forever but we got to this one and managed a
It seems approaching this from the west if you have little legs like me as couldn't quite get myself over the log

Good spot to stop - to find a bit of history that otherwise you would never find out. 
Found this one with Leega on our way back to Perth. Interesting spot. Cool fact about the school bus. TFTC Team Newbold.
